Playing cards are an essential part of any holiday – whether you’re waiting hours at an airport or spending a rainy week in a caravan, there’s almost always an opportunity to get the cards out for a quick game. However, next time you’re cheating your way to a solitaire victory, spare a thought for any bored Spanish holidaymakers – they have to fill their time with an entirely different (and entirely confusing) set of playing cards.
New Zealand seems to be a place that everyone likes. British people who go on holiday there often come back saying they’d happily move to the country, and it’s easy to see why – there’s fantastic scenery, a high standard of living and they’d be 12,000 miles away from their family. Not only that, but (as we saw here) New Zealand has got a city that smells almost totally eggy. What more incentive do you need?
When something’s good, it’s often said to be “the best thing since sliced bread.” If you think about it, this saying doesn’t really make any sense – sliced bread is rubbish, it’s boring, and you’d have to be completely bonkers to believe it was mankind’s last great invention.

You know when someone over the age of 30 says something like “Cor, they don’t make them like that any more!”? Well, show them a photo of a stave church and that’s likely to be just the reaction you’ll get from them – because they really don’t make churches like that any more…
For most people, smelling nice is important. For a certain minority, however, smelling bad seems to be just as important (I refuse to believe that this minority smell so catastrophically bad on accident; work has clearly gone into their scent).
When on holiday, after days of sampling the local cuisine, it can often be tempting to relax by stepping into a recognisable fast food restaurant. After all, at least you know what you’re going to get there, right? Wrong, actually. Around the world, fast food chains are all too eager to adapt to local tastes, sometimes leaving tourists in a state of bewilderment.
